A Bad News Then Good News Story About My Stitching Hand
jackd942 replied to specialcases's topic in Sewing Leather
Glad you got that figured out...I bet that was deflating at first! -
Very nice! I assume you used an old circular saw blade...what tools did you use to cut the blade to the correct shape?

Could you use an old pick guard and just cover it with your leather work? -
Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster Pickguard
jackd942 replied to Cyberthrasher's topic in Musical Instruments
That looks really good. I need to dust off my old strat and see what I can do for it. How do you attach it? Just with screws or is there some type of adhesive or something involved? -
How Often Do You Feel Like Giving Up?
jackd942 replied to tanda4's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
I never think about giving up...there are no such things as failures, you have just figured out ways NOT to do something:) just don't repeat it... -
Is there a web address or something to check it out?

End Result = Worth It!
jackd942 replied to Shooter McGavin's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Nice job! Its all about being unique...and the smile says it all! -
That looks great vaalpens! Glad I (among others) could help. I like the idea of the wax paper and the way you lined everything up. I usually don't worry too much about it because I sand everything flush with my oscillating spindle sander...just get it fairly close so the stitch line looks uniform after sanding. But...if you don't have access to a spindle sander or belt sander, your way should work like a charm. Anywho, great job!

Belt Case For A Browning Folder
jackd942 replied to jackd942's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Thanks everyone. The reason for no talk is that I can't stand the sound of my own voice on audio recordings:) I decided sometime ago that I was going to start recording video clips in the shop just to show the amount of work that goes into what we all do. Hopefully they will be of some benefit to someone. Thanks for the comment. -

Thanks Dwight. That's kind of what I was wondering as well...Trading comfort for quick and easy. Really like the looks! -

Nice job Vaalpens! I really like it. -
Here are a couple of pics of a belt case I made recently. Also a link to about a 20 min YouTube video I put together while making it.

Need Advice On Correct Size John James Harness Needles.
jackd942 replied to ToddB 68's topic in Getting Started
Personally I use size 2. They are just over 2 inches long. I'm not sure about the thread you plan to use, but I've been using that size with pretty large Tejas waxed thread. I have to prepare the ends, but I usually get the thread started fairly easily. Not as easily as a larger eye needle, but still not a problem. -

Making A Fun Little Holster
jackd942 replied to Dwight's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
I like it Dwight. Pretty cool little guy. -
I've always just used Weldwood because I come from a woodworking background. Works well and never had a reason to switch.
